Rockville audio cables?

[tomyco]

Anyone have experience with Rockville audio cables ? I need to purchase two 30' XLR to TRS audio cables to go from my interface to my monitors, and they are alot less expensive then other brands. You know the old saying" You get what you pay for" so I'm a little concerned about buying them, I can get two brand new 30' cables for $21.95 on EBAY. Anyone have any feedback on Rockville audio cables?

Thanks!

I don't, but I just wonder why anyone would need 60 aggregate feet of monitor cable. Usually, you'd want the interface pretty close to the speakers to minimize any possible induced hum/noise, and for similar reasons, you don't want the interface too close to the computer or in the same machine room, if that's how you have it situated. OTOH, the cable from your I/F to the computer is probably more expensive than the others.

If your eBay vendor offers a warranty or moneyback guaranty, you're only out the shipping, if you get a bum cable. Used to be, you could just buy any US-made cable under a dollar a foot and be good to go, but these days some of the imports measure up pretty well. Inexpensive brands I've had good experiences with are Belden, ProCo, Conquest, Horizon, Planet Waves and Live Wires, among others. Hosa stuff is okay, but mostly has molded connectors that can't be repaired in the field, though they're generally cheap enough, you can carry spares.

It's not 60' it's a 30 foot distance from interface to computer. That's just the way I have to set it up due to the space restrictions I have in my studio.
